This feels appropriate for this blog

I dare somebody to tell me Elmo ain't black now.

True

[tweet by Suede] 

Still blows my mind that Elmo, Grover and Kermit were all legitimate, relatively common names before the muppets made it impossible to name your child that. There was a president named Grover! Theodore Roosevelt’s son was named Kermit! 

Now that’s truly leaving a mark on culture

i’ve been workshopping this idea for like three days and i think i finally cracked the code

Beeker and Dr. Bunsen could be added to this. The overlap with R2D2 and C3PO would be “one speaks English and the other beeps/meeps”

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD ADDITION TO MY POST YOU ARE SO VALID

You will not be prepared for this man’s voice. But you will be delighted

The Count in his Count Mobile.

Really wanna dig thru the ditches and burn thru the witches in this ride.

bert and ernie go to ikea

everyone shut up and look at this

ayn rand failing to understand that sesame street is for young children

god this is missing the best part JIM HENSON I think Ms. Rand and my character Oscar the Grouch would have a lot to talk about actually. I am laughing out loud at this idea. AYN RAND Why would I want to talk to him. What has he achieved or trying to achieve. JIM HENSON He has achieved what I think is the ultimate goal of your way of thinking.

lmao

I can’t believe I never knew that Jim Henson straight up murdered Ayn Rand. 

Making friends with people from other countries is so crazy. I sent my group chat a Big Bird gif.

And this one girl says, “why isn’t he blue?”

I’m like, the fuck you mean??

So today I learned that in the Dutch version of Sesame Street, they do, in fact, have a blue Big Bird.

I was baffled by this so I went on Muppets Wiki and guess what.

In Mexico, Big Bird is green and his name is Abelardo.

Turkish Big Bird (aka Minik Kus) is apparently fucking orange.

This looks like a fuckin alternate universe or smth. I can’t.

Sesame Street characters doing impressions of other Sesame Street characters. That should be enough to convince you to click on it, but I will sweeten the deal with a screenshot of The Count’s impression of Ernie.

There is no reason that can’t be the Internet’s Next Top Reaction Image.

Okay Abby is really good at this?

Elmo be calling me out at the end

Elmo: [leans over edge of the water] “Winston? Oh please show Elmo what love is!” 

Winston the Beluga Whale: [pops out of the water and ‘kisses’ Elmo on the nose] 

[music trills as the beluga sinks into the water again, and the word ‘LOVE’ is printed over the screen] 

Elmo: [to the audience] “Love ...” [beluga pops up and kisses Elmo’s eye/the side of his face] “Ah, ah - thank you!” [Elmo laughs]

I’m not super fond of the way vampires turn pale no matter their skin tone so here’s a proposal:

Colder tones!!!

This was loosely based off livor mortis which is the bluish-purple discoloration of the skin of dead bodies. It’s a result of the gravitation of blood but fuck that vamps are purple now

Conclusion: The Count from Sesame Street is a VOC (Vampire of Color), and we stan

This footage of Elmo after messing up a take on Sesame Street is peak relatable

In Elmo’s voice: “I only had three lines!”

Okay but please watch the whole video. It’s just over a minute.

1. Robin Williams making off-the-cuff jokes that are definitely not Sesame Street appropriate.

2. The slow zoom in on Elmo’s face at the end.
